I am 20 years old and have always had Transformers. My mother likes to tell a story about sitting me down in the care of Mark (who is her first husband's son by his second wife and not my brother; we lived with them for a time before Mum got her own house) and was able to do all of the housework that needed doing as we were both mesmerised by the 1986 movie. Eventually, I had my own VHS tape of it and it wore out through repeated playing -- thank God for the advent of DVD! I think my first toy was Starscream. Most of my older ones were picked up by Mum and my grandparents at car boot sales in varying degrees of completeness, but I have many times many and love them all. In the past few years I've started buying them again (the DVDs of G1 and the movie are probably to blame) and I plan to keep on buying! So, happy twenty-fifth, Transformers! Here's to the next quarter-century!
